Hey everyone, was just curious to see what everyone is doing for exercise and how often? Is there anyone who doesn't exercise much at all? Just curious to see what we're all up to!!!! Hope everyone is well!

My boyfriend, friends, immediate family, and coworkers knew about the surgery. They are the only ones to compliment me. I recently went to a bridal shower for a cousin, and NOT ONE person said anything to me. I was a little devastated. As you said, I've done this for myself, but a little recognition would be nice. I mean, before I wore super baggy clothes and looked so bloated. Now when I saw them this time, I wore figure flattering clothes and I can at least tell a big difference in my face. I was annoyed. But that's ok. I'll still keep plugging along. My family and friends tell me they can notice and my boyfriend tells me everyday how proud of me he is and how beautiful I look {even though I think that's a lie!) So don't get discouraged. Keep doing this for you!

Ann, that's awesome that you can take the stairs now! I bet that feels great for you, both physically and mentally. My sister has arthritis as well and I know how painful it is for her, so congrats to you on doing exercise, that's a great accomplishment! :mad2:

I replied, I have been banded for almost 4 months and have only gotten stuck a couple of times. It's been awhile since the last time!

How do you like the 30 Day Shred? I'm going to be getting that from netflix soon.

Good for you for exercising! :mad2: And I agree, I'm so excited for BL tonight. I love that show. It motivates me too. I think now, especially, since I'm going through this weight loss journey, it'll be an even bigger motivator!

Yowza, that sounds like an incredible workout! I am going to have to look into that Yoga class. That's an insane amount of calories to lose! I really have to give you credit for that, I'd probably pass out after 10 minutes, lol.

Wow, ValJean kudos to you for doing the bike riding to work! That's a great workout I bet. And probably pretty relaxing. I have yet to try yoga, do you like it?

Minxz, what workout dvds do you like best? I am doing the Biggest Loser Boot Camp dvd and man that thing kicks my butt, lol, but I feel alot better energywise already from doing it. Just curious to see what ones you like!

:sad: Wow, that's awesome! You have lost alot of weight since surgery! Congrats! You do sound super busy, so I bet you are still losing alot of fat and calories each day without even realizing it, just by doing chores/running around with the kids. Keep up the good work!

I was on my period at surgery. I had a tampon in, but they told me I had to remove it and gave me a pad that was the size of a diaper, and these weird underwear. No big deal though. I was nervous about it, but once I got there I was fine!

congrats to everyone! Last Friday- 238.5 lbs today- 237.5 lbs One pound this week. I'll take it considering it was that time of the month and I've had a really hard and stressful week. Good luck to everyone next week!

I've heard alot of people on here suggest Biotin. I've been taking it for over 3 weeks now, and I have to say, my hair is still falling out rapidly. I hope it kicks in soon. Good luck to you.

You are really lucky to have that doc Ann! my doctor won't do a fill before October because I lost 12 pounds in August. I'm so bummed. I don't think he's listening to my concerns.

Awesome John, so close to 100!!!!!! You are unbelievable!!!! Last Friday- 242.5 Today- 238.5 Lost 4 pounds this week! I was happy! Good luck everyone.

Bevan, I am in the EXACT same boat as you. I had my 3rd fill 2 weeks ago and my doc only did a small one because I had also lost 10 pounds in a month. But I explained to him that I have no restriction and am doing it on willpower. I could easily eat 1 1/2 cups as well and am hungry within like 2 hours after. But I try my hardest not to eat that whole 1 1/2 cup. Sounds like we have a lot in common at this stage. I don't go back for my next fill until October 22nd, I don't know if I'll make it that long like this!:blushing: But best of luck to you, let us know how it goes for you!

I had my surgery in May and I eat salad all the time. My doctor gave me the ok for it 2 months after surgery. Maybe just call your doc and make sure!
